Police have arrested a second man in the slayings of an elderly Baton Rouge couple whose bodies were found at a Hammond truck stop in October.

Hollywood Police arrested Frank Garcia, 48, in Hollywood, Florida, on Wednesday on a Baton Rouge Police arrest warrant, Baton Rouge Police spokesman Cpl. L’Jean McKneely said.

Garcia’s arrest comes after Ernesto Llerena Alonso, 42, was taken into custody in the deaths of Denis “Bubbie” Duplantier, 71, and Suzanne “Suzy” Duplantier, 70.

Garcia, 2434 Garfield St., Hollywood, Florida, was booked on two counts of first-degree murder while Alonso was arrested on first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree kidnapping.

“Once we received the warrant, though, we immediately reached out to Hollywood Police,” McKneely said.
